Q: Can you have a boiler and a water heater?

• <div><p>Boilers are used mainly for central heating, and water heaters are used for ordinary household water use. In fact, a conventional boiler works best if your home already has a water heater system in place. Sometimes a boiler can be combined with indirect water heaters. But there are also premade combination boiler heaters.</p></div>

Q: Can a water heater be replaced in a day?

• <div><p>Yes, a water heater can be replaced in a day and can take between two and three hours to install from start to finish. Even if you encounter extra tasks that need to be completed, the job can still be completed in one day.</p></div>

Q: Can you switch from a tank to a tankless water heater?

• <div><p>Going from a tank to a tankless water heater is one of the most effective ways to lower your utility bills. The switch also frees up more space and ensures a consistent hot water supply, as the water is heated on an as-needed basis. It costs between <b>$5,400 and $7,400</b> to install a new tankless water heater. Most installation companies will also help dispose of your old water tank.</p></div>

Q: How do I know when it's time to replace a hot water heater?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-should-i-replace-my-water-heater.htm">average lifespan of a water heater</a> is eight to 12 years. If your water heater is approaching its first decade of life and is giving you problems, talk to a plumber about your replacement options.</p><p>Keep in mind that certain parts of a water heater, such as the anode rod, may need replacement long before the heater itself. An anode rod often has a lifespan of three to five years.</p></div>

Q: Is replacing a water heater worth it?

• <div><p>Replacing an older water heater that requires frequent repairs is almost always worth it. If your fixture is nearing the end of its life span&mdash;around 10 to 20 years, depending on the model&mdash;replacing a water heater might save you money in the long run. Replacing a water heater generally costs less than repairing a fully flooded basement, and some high-efficiency units pay for themselves thanks to energy savings. Plus, installing a new water heater and upgrading to tankless will boost your home value and make your hot water more readily available, improving comfort for your family.</p></div>
